Villas in Mimaropa, Philippines

We stayed for a night at this hidden villa, and it felt like a true home away from home. The staff were incredibly kind and respectful, providing excellent service that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The food was a highlight—absolutely delicious, with a healthy breakfast offered in the morning. You can even request a floating breakfast, which added a special touch to the experience. While the villa is tucked away down a short gravel road, the peaceful and private setting made it worth the effort. The villa is kid-friendly, but families should be cautious around the tiled swimming pool area. There’s no TV, so if you’re traveling with children, make sure their devices are charged. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi is strong and reliable. Overall, it was a lovely, relaxing stay with amazing food and warm hospitality. We highly recommend this villa for a cozy and memorable getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, as a family with our two daughters, aged 5 and 2. We had a lovely villa, studio number 3. The villa is very well equipped, with a kitchenette which is a real bonus for families. The view is simply magnificent, whether from the villa or from the hotel pool. The hotel is very well located; we were able to explore the surrounding area by scooter. As for breakfast, it was good, but we might have preferred a buffet to have more choice and variety.

The hotel was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Housekeeping came everyday. There was water, a mini fridge, shampoo, body wash and soap. Breakfast was great and a little bit different every morning. But there was always coffee, juice and fresh fruit. Even though it was a little bit out of the center of town, you could still get there very well by car and tricycle. We would definitely stay here again!

Location is great as long as you are not looking for a place nearby restaurant and shops, but at the opposite, a particularly relaxing atmosphere with a great view. Room, swimming pool, dive club, beach are all in good conditions. Food wise, you have many good options. Staff are pleasant and have been efficient at solving one problem in our room. Nice gesture from the hotel, a free of charge new year eve buffet + live band + firework. Ok, we most likely paid it in our room rate, but honestly speaking price was reasonable especially since our room was able to accommodate 4 guests into 2 different rooms with its own bathroom, and breakfast was included. It's sufficiently rare to be mention. Too many hotels are charging scandalous price for Christmas of New Year. Not the spirit at Casalay. Last but not least, kudos for the dive school. Very professional, especially to get your Padi. They don't compromise at all, it is very reassuring. We'll possibly be back if we happen to visit Puerto Galera again.

First off, the man running the place is AMAZING. He was so friendly throughout the stay, carried our bags up, helped whenever we needed. We even left items there and he kept them for us. If the review was purely about the service we received, it would be a 10/10. The accommodation is actually in a really cool spot, it’s on the beach so at high tide you need to walk through a bit of water to come in. But very scenic and nice. The accommodation itself is fine. A little dated and could do with a few small fixes. Water pressure isn’t the best. But overall it added to a rustic feel.

The place is beautiful—the kind you would want to come back to. The staff are kind and accommodating. It’s very relaxing, especially if you’re looking for a quiet place to unwind or escape the noise of the city. The sea is enjoyable both in the morning and at night. We will definitely come back here. The swimming pool is also clean. The road going down is a bit steep, but it’s manageable by motorcycle, and passengers can walk since there are stairs available. The place is clean overall, and we truly enjoyed our stay.

We had the most amazing time at Ananda House. The villa was absolutely beautiful and very luxurious. We hired a moped from the man who owns the shop at the end of road which was really helpful for getting into town, only an easy 10 minute drive. Lovely to be away from the centre of town but still very convenient location. Thank you so much

Beach is very beautiful but the location is very far. The amenities and room is excellent but it would be better if the room is facing the beach. All in all we like our stay and to kuya who assist us, thank you very much, you're so accommodating to us!!!

The service is superb. Though the location is very far from town. We ride a van and a boat to reach the hotel. If you want to do island hopping you need to ride a boat and a van to town again.
